KillLog Reloaded

Keeps a log of the enemies you kill, along with your deaths in combat, and calculates the average XP gained from different creatures, adding this information to the tooltip when you mouse-over a creature.
Also keeps a record of the highest damage you've dealt with spells and abilities.

This addon was originally created by Frenn, then updated by Detritis - many thanks to them both.

+ Version 4.1.0
* Changes:-
Update for WoW 4.1. Thanks to sztosz for testing since I don't have a WoW
subscription at the moment.

Anyone using version 4.0.3 since patch 4.1 came out will have log entries
using GUIDs instead of creature names; I'll see if I can find a way of
correcting those old entries.

+ Version 4.0.3
* Changes:-
Update for WoW 4.0
Removed a lot of dead code
* Bug Fixes
Creep list is once again coloured appropriately
Old creep data will be correctly expired when the number of levels to store
is greater than 70 but less than the current character level.
* Known Issues:
The number of levels to track isn't automatically increased. If you
currently have it set to 80 and want to store all creep history then you'll
need to increase it to 85 in the options pane.
+ Version 2.99.0
* Changes:-
Update for WoW 3.0.2.
Colouring of creep names in the log is disabled until I have the time to
research how this should be done now.
This has been briefly tested and all other incompatibilities should be
fixed, but for the moment should be considered beta. When the colouring is
fixed and I've used it a little more, I'll release it as version 3.0 (or
perhaps even 3.0.2) and try to track the WoW version so as to indicate the
version compatibility.

+ Version 2.7.0
* Changes:-
Reinstated death tracking, now that WoW 2.4.2 has been released,
making it once again possible to detect when the player dies.
* Known Issues:-
This should have the same behaviour as the feature prior to WoW 2.4.0.
This means it infers the killer based on who hit the player last,
according to the combat log. Consequently it may (in theory) suffer
from races, if combat messages do not arrive in the correct order, and
it can't track environmental deaths (falling, drowning, lava, ...).)

+ Version 2.6.9
* Changes:-
Updated to record combat information provided by the new combat log system
introduced in patch 2.4.0.
The method for tracking kills has changed, and is described in the
'Description' section below.
* Known Issues:-
Player deaths are not recorded, due to a bug in the game: the 'UNIT_DIED'
combat event does not fire upon the death of the player. As a workaround, I
tried registering for notification of the 10% durability loss on equipped
items instead, but couldn't get it to work.
The fix for this issue is scheduled to be included in WoW 2.4.2.

+ Version 2.6.2a
* Bug Fixes:-
- Fixes bug with debugging messages with fresh installs only (this version is not needed if you are updating from an earlier version)

+ Version 2.6.1
* Additions:-
- Adjusted the way location data is saved, resulting in a smaller saved variable file
** Please be advised that depending on the amount of data you have the first time you load WoW could take anywhere from an additonal 30 seconds to 1 minute to load. (Only happens once)

* Beta Version *
+ Version 2.5.2b
* Bug Fixes:-
-- Attempt to fix bug with creeps not being recorded at maximum level ( untested as I don't have a lvl 70 )

+ Version 2.5.2
* Additions:-
-- The 'Level' list will now color the creeps according to the level at which you killed them, instead of based on your current level.
-- Added the new 'rare-elite' border to the rare-elite class in the listing
* Fixes:-
-- A little more room at the bottom of the 'General Window' for widescreen resolutions.

+ Version 2.5.1
* Bug Fixes:-
-- Fixed issue with maxLevel not being set with a fresh install.

+ Version 2.5.0
* Additions:-
-- Check for level 70.
-- Reworked the way the 'Family' information was updated.
-- Debugging can now be enabled from the options menu.
-- Debug levels 1 - 3 disabled.

+ Version 2.4.9
* Additions:-
-- Added 2 new sorting levels to the dropdown menus, Class and Location.
-- Made support for SCT optional, enable in the options tab.
-- Added option to change display color for the maximum damage notification.
* Data Updates:-
-- Slight change to how the coordinates are saved to the database, allows for a small reduction in memory usage.

+ Version 2.4.8
* Additions:-
-- Added Hunter's autoshot to the list of recorded data.
* Bug Fixes:-
-- Fixed issue with debugging being enabled by default instead of being disabled.
-- Fixed error with checking current level information. (Problem with switching to a new character with a fresh install)

+ Version 2.4.7
* Additions:-
-- Expanded Total Kills and Total Deaths on the General Tab to show all sources of your deaths and kills. (Thanks to Dridzt for the suggestion)
-- Maximum hit and crit information sent to SCT if installed. (Thanks to IRID1UM for the suggestion)
* Bug Fixes:-
-- Corrected issue with not being credited with the kill if the mob didnt give you xp.
-- Adjusted the ScrollFrame on the General Tab to view extra data missing from the end.

+ Version 2.4.5:
* Updated to WoW 2.0
* Fixed table errors (pairs)
* Fixed creep names not displaying at all in list
* Fixed collapse button text not displaying
* Location tracking slighty changed to include the 'outer bounds' you found a creep
* Furhter expanded debug functions to include deleting a creep family you specified from the database (View readme for full details)

+ Version 2.3.1:
* Added ability to store unknown creep family to database and to specify which family you want
* Changed format of Death list
* Expanded debug functionality to include adding a creep family you specify to the database

I can't remember if I've not heard about PLAYER_DEAD, or if I rejected it for some reason . I'll look into it if I can manage it before 2.4.2. That's assuming it hasn't already - I've had a busy time recently coinciding with connection problems so I haven't played at all this week (and it's my GF's birthday this weekend ).

Well I've updated the page, but I seem to have somehow failed to update the actual file. Not quite sure what I did wrong but in the meantime the link below will still work. I can't update the file without changing the version number, so I'll decide tomorrow morning whether it's worth PMing an admin or if I may as well just wait for 2.4.2 when I'll be updating it...

Thanks and please don't spend too much time at it if you don't feel like updating it.
Your Killlog version so far has worked fine, couldn't test much with all this downtime... (gg Bliz, once again)
Cheers

Originally posted by IRID1UM hey, if you have time, could you please check out the addon "instabolt" too please? there shouldn't be much to fix and since you have experience with it already I figured it might be easy for you.
fine with me if you don't want to
cheers and thanks

That addon registers independently for the different events it can track, which is no longer possible, so AFAICT an updated version would be a little less efficient (whether this would be a significant difference, I couldn't say, but it's unlikely), and would require rewriting a lot of it. Having said that, it isn't large, so I'll take a longer look this weekend.

Well I've managed to make the modifications myself - the new combat log system means that a fair bit of it is actually simplified, which is nice. Currently death tracking doesn't work, because of a bug in 2.4.0 which will, according to Slouken, be fixed in 2.4.2 (I wonder why not 2.4.1? maybe that's already finalised and ready to be pushed out shortly).

When that's done I'll release my modified version, if there's any interest. I might also look into adding healing tracking - there's a lot of code for it already in but commented out, so I presume it was intended to be a feature at some point. I don't know what the problems were with it, but it should be a lot easier now.

Originally posted by Detritis Yeah sure np Fyrye, I am not really updating this with anymore features at the moment, rather just gonna watch it to make sure it doesnt break with any patches. Feel free to add anything you like.

Detritis

It has been some time since this comment - is it still valid?

Unfortunately the changes to the combat log in 2.4 mean that this addon can no longer track damage, deaths, or kills that yield no XP (all CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_* and CHAT_MSG_SPELL_* events have been replaced with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT, which works differently).
Edit: Slight correction: CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_HONOR_GAIN and CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN do still exist; the latter is used to track XP from kills.

Is there any chance of further updates being made to this addon?

I've had a look at what would be required to make it work, but for the moment it's beyond me - and it wouldn't be worth spending too much time on if somebody with some experience might fix it.

Thanks.

(PS Could anyone let me know if there's an updated version of this somewhere else, or modified by another person, or even a different addon which is equivalent and could use my existing saved data)
